Never give your husband an ultimatum to fix the garage light...

Those of you who know Josh probably have an inkling where this is going. When we moved into our house, my garage door didn't have a lightbulb in it that came on when the door opened. About 2 weeks ago I left after dark to run to Walgreens. I just turned on the overhead lights in the garage and left them on so I would have a light when I came home. I'm funny about getting out of my car in the dark...even though Josh was home.

Well, my energy conscious husband called me when I was at Walgreens to remind me that I had left it on and would I please turn it off next time (he also had to tell me something else...this was just his loving aside). I politely reminded him that if he would actually put a lightbulb in my garage door that I wouldn't have to turn on the overhead lights and leave them on at night when I go out. He just said "okay." Being the moron that I am, I thought that was the end of it.

When I got home I realized he had turned off the overhead lights. When I hit the garage door opener, I knew why. I felt like a steam engine was bearing down on me head on. He had replaced my garage door light with an outdoor high power flood light. Seriously, I couldn't even see to pull into the garage it was so bright! It looked just like the headlight of a train! I started laughing so hard that I had to turn my car off in the driveway until I could control myself enough to actually pull it into the garage. When I got inside Josh greated me with "how was the light?" and a big grin. I still couldn't stop laughing. As I'm typing this blog, I keep busting out laughing, and Josh keeps coming back to check on me. :) For those of you who know my husband, I don't think this story will be of any surprise. This is our life, and it certainly never gets boring! :)

For the record, my train light has now been replaced with an appropriate energy efficient bulb.
